Dying Adult Chicken

[nfrost]

We have a 3-4 year old SLW and its been sick lately, it had pasty butt since the snow has been gone, i tried to wipe it off or pull off all the huge chunks, well yesterday i notice she wont go in the coop at night anymore (they are free range) and she just sits in a corner and poops a milkey yellow liquid, anyone know what this could be... she use to be terrified of use now she just sits tehre with her head in the corner...

I don't know - but this post should be moved.

Can you send a poo sample in to a vet to check for worms?

Here is the poo page:

Also it is helpful to dust for mites and lice if indicated.

If giving worming medications to everyone please note that there is a specified amount of time to toss eggs.

(I have no experience with worms.)

Also diagnosis charts at bottom of this page:

Sounds like she's egg bound. Need to do surgery on her soon. Hope she makes it.
